i know this sounds like a stupid question but i when i attach my bottle to my marker i just screw the ASA enough to open the valve on the bottle right?????
stupid newbie ASA question
- Thread starter Rgvrip
- Start date
You could try to screw it into the barrel but this won't work
Seriously tho, screw the bottle in fully until it stops and the bottle is tight. The last thing you need is the bottle unscrewing half way through a game, not only could that wreck your gun, it could wreck you too
Be careful with HPA/Co2, and if your unsure then ask someone who knows.
the question i was trying to ask was basically how much do i open the ASA . . is it just enough to open the valve on the bottle??????
i just dont want to caus any damage to the ASA or the valve

Ahh right, From the begining,
Screw the bottle in fully to the asa until hand tight, then turn the knob on the asa fully until the bottle is fully open and then knob stops turning, then personally i back the knob off about 1/16 of a turn just so that it doesn't "lock" itself open whilst in use.
If you don't have a purging asa which lets the gas out when you shut it off, then when you've finished, shut the asa off and then dry fire the gun to vent the gas out, this will let you remove the bottle without blowing the seals.

ah u have an on/off asa
screw the bottle in till its tight when its nearly tight u will hear a hiss as the pin valve on ur bottle starts to open but dont stop until it is tight (u can over tighten tho) then turn open ur valve on ur asa fully
That doesn't make sense my friend
If you have a fixed asa then you will hear a hiss as you screw the bottle on, and you should screw on quickly to stop losing all your gas.
If you have an on/off asa then you will hear nothing as you screw your bottle on as that is the whole point of having the on/off, to turn it on safely without having gas shooting up your arm.
Anything else and i'm afraid that your doing it wrong
